	<title>Suffolk Online</title>
	<description>
	Suffolk Online, since 2000 has been an Ipswich based nationwide delivering Internet Service Provider (ISP), offering a range of services like those offered by other major suppliers in the market place.

At the heart of Suffolk Online is it's not for profit basis. All profits from Suffolk Online are ploughed back into the service itself or community projects run by Suffolk ACRE, the organisation that manages Suffolk Online. Suffolk Online can also add to this by being supplied it's services by The Phone Coop. The Phone Coop are part of the co-operative movement and offer all it's services carbon neutral. These ethical and environmental values are a core part of Suffolk Online's reason for existence.

Suffolk Online's Unique Selling Point (USP) however is that along with competitively priced packages it can offer unrivalled customer service and support via its dedicated helpdesk which is manned by 3 knowledgeable professionals each with vast experience of supporting consumers.
This service and support is at the cost of a local telephone call and is a personal service that has no boundaries. Unlike most ISP's we don't just stop at supporting your internet service we also will aid you with any problems you have on your computer, potentially saving you vast amounts of money having to call in engineers.

Suffolk Online is also able to back up its excellent support with a long term sustainable business model, that we hope can be demonstrated by it's 9 year history in a very competitive market place where small ISP's struggle to survive. Suffolk Online's model is based on ultimately being able to fund itself in the short, medium and long term. It does not profess to be the cheapest provider in the market place but we would hope that it's long term stability, excellent support and ethical values will more than make up for any small price differences.
With a self sustainable model in place and supplied by the co-operative movement Suffolk Online can demonstrate it's ethical and environment status which makes it Suffolk's premier Internet Service Provider.

	<title>Virgin Media tries to rustle up the broadband bandits</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ 
	&nbsp

	&nbsp

	Sadly while WiFi was brilliant and fast in the home a few years ago for many people they are now finding that the old 2.4GHz band is becoming congested and giving very variable speeds particularly in more densely populated areas. The clever people have for sometime bought broadband routers that add the 5GHz band to their network, and Virgin Media will soon have available its new superhub model that supports both bands and BT Retail has its own dual band HomeHub 4.

	To highlight some of the problems and maybe help people work around the issues, Virgin Media has put together ... ]]></description>

	<title>Windows 8 to be redesigned by Microsoft as PC sales plummet</title>
	<description><![CDATA[ 
	&nbsp

	When&nbspMicrosoft&nbspboss Steve Ballmer first revealed his software for the touchscreen world in February 2012, he said he was &quotbetting the company&quot on it.

	There were &quotno compromises&quot made in replacing the time-honoured desktop with&nbspWindows&nbsp8&39s colourful tile-based interface, Ballmer insisted.

	But just six months after the official release, Microsoft &ndash which relies on Windows licences for about half its profits &ndash is getting ready to make compromises to key aspects of the software. It comes after its leap into the tablet&nbspcomputing&nbspfuture was described as &quotconfusing&quot or worse by new users and has been blamed for plummeting sales of PCs, which had their sharpest ... ]]></description>

	<title>Government consults on changes to planning rules for mobile masts</title>
	<description><![CDATA[

		Some 92 of individuals in the UK have a mobile phone, and 39 own a smart phone complete with mobile internet access, so the Government is keen to encourage improvements to the patchy mobile coverage around the UK. The latest move appears to be less about throwing small amounts of money at the problem, but more about changing the rules governing where and how big mobile masts can be.
	
		The&nbsppress release&nbspis fairly spare on detail, meaning that to get a better idea of what is planned you should really&nbspread the full PDF&nbspthat also includes the consultation questions which has a closing ... ]]></description>

	Windows XP support ends a year from &hellip now

	Windows XP, we hardly knew ye Yet by this time next year, the adolescent operating system will be headed for the big Recycle Bin in the sky, thanks to Microsoft&39s planned obsolescence policy and the inevitable march of progress.

	Introduced in 2001, XP was a big hit. But Microsoft will end support for XP on April 7th, 2014. That won&39t be the very end, however, as analyst firm Gartner says if you&39re happy to pay between US200,000 and 500,000 a year for custom support Redmond will ensure XP has a pulse.

	The Government has announced that the third round of the Rural Community Broadband Fund RCBF is now open for applications.&nbsp

	The 4G auction process is now almost complete, although as things stand before the final round of bidding, the auction is &pound1 billion short of the Governments target of &pound3.5bn that was announced in the Autumn Statement in 2012. There is a&nbspfinal short round of bidding&nbspto take place to determine where exactly in each band the blocks that have been assigned will precisely reside, though it is very unlikely this bidding will make a significant dent in the shortfall.

	<title>The importance of full fibre broadband</title>

	Over the past few days, thousands of delegates have gathered in London for the FTTH Councils&39Fibre-to-the-Home Conference&nbspat Excel in London. This event has been designed to bring together network operators, equipment suppliers, contractors, policy-makers and investors to help promote FTTH adoption across the EU.

	When we talk about&nbspfibre-optic broadband&nbspin the UK, we usually mean fibre-to-the-cabinet FTTC &39hybrid&39 solutions rather than fibre-to-the-homebuildingpremises FTTHFTTBFTTP, the so called &39full fibre&39 solution.

	Thousands of computers running Microsoft&39s Windows XP operating system were unable to connect to the internet after installing an anti-virus update.

	Users said&nbspthey were also unable to access their internal company networks.

	Russian IT security company Kaspersky Labs told users to disable its anti-virus software or roll back the update.

	Two hours later it issued a fix - but since their PCs were unable to auto-install new code from the net, users had to perform several tasks first.

	<title>BlackBerry Z10 review</title>

	Neat and tidy, but unique Not really...

	Asked repeatedly what the company behind the&nbspBlackBerry&nbsphas learned from the iPhone, its UK managing director struggled to answer. &quotIt&39s unique,&quot said Stephen Bates, reassuring listeners&nbspin a stilted appearance on BBC Radio Five Live. &quotWe have a unique proposition.&quot

	The USP &ndash unique selling point &ndash is what every technology marketer strives to identify to ensnare the would-be buyer. For the BlackBerry brand, and the new all-touchscreen Z10, and keyboard-toting Q10, there is indeed a USP. But it&39s very well hidden. And it will cost you.

		I know lots of people who disagree about when and whether it&39s OK to reproduce creative works without permission. There are long, thoughtful debates about how long copyright should last whether publicly funded works should be treated the same as privately created ones whether scientific and scholarly works should be freely available what sort of works qualify as &quotcreative&quot, and, of course, what fair dealingfair use should and should not allow.
